Sookie Stackhouse enjoys her job as a cocktail waitress in Merlotte's, a small-town bar in small-town Bon Temps, deep in Louisiana. She's funny and pretty and, thanks to her grandmother, she's very well-mannered - but since not many people truly appreciate her ability to read their minds, the guys haven't exactly been beating down her door ... And then along came Bill, tall, dark and handsome - and Sookie couldn't 'hear' a word he was thinking. He was exactly the type of guy she'd been waiting all her life for. Of course, Bill had a disability of his own: fussy about his food, not into suntans, bit of a night person: yep, Bill was a vampire. But at least now Sookie knows there *are* guys she can date who won't worry about her catching them thinking about other women ... And that's going to make Sookie's life really interesting!

The problem is, Sookie wants a quiet life - but things just seem to happen to her and her friends.

She can deal with that, but her normal sisterly concern turns to cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the local changeling population.

«La prima volta che mi hanno chiesto di scrivere un racconto sulla mia eroina Sookie Stackhouse mi sono chiesta se sarei stata all'altezza del compito. La sua vita e la sua storia sono così complesse che non ero certa di riuscire a renderle giustizia nello spazio di poche pagine. In Polvere di fate, Claude e Claudine chiedono aiuto a Sookie per scovare il colpevole dell’omicidio di Claudette. Tanti auguri, Dracula vede Eric alle prese con l’organizzazione della festa di compleanno del suo idolo... e Sookie accetta di buon grado l’invito. Sapere della morte di sua cugina, in Risposta lapidaria, è già uno shock, ma scoprire che è morta con un paletto nel cuore, la lascia davvero sen...
La saga di Sookie Stackhouse è quella che ha più innovato il genere vampiresco dai tempi di Intervista col vampiro. Catapultati nella vita di tutti i giorni, i vampiri di Charlaine Harris e di Alan Ball non cacciano più nei cimiteri o in cadenti castelli, ma in bar e night club, sono pragmatici e tessono intrighi per ottenere potere e ricchezza: si potrebbero definire diversamente umani. In questa guida trovate tutto sulla saga letteraria THE SOUTHERN VAMPIRE MYSTERIES e sul telefilm TRUE BLOOD: le trame di episodi, romanzi e racconti (molti dei quali inediti in Italia e qui presentati nell’ordine cronologico di lettura), le differenze tra versione cartacea e televisiva, le curiosità nascoste nelle scene, le citazioni più argute e divertenti, i personaggi e le opere derivate. Un libro dedicato a chi è incuriosito dall’avvincente ciclo di Sookie Stackhouse e dal relativo fenomeno mediatico, a chi non ha perso una puntata del telefilm ma non ha letto i volumi, o viceversa, ma anche ai più accaniti fan che vogliano scoprire di più sul sookieverse. Se pensavate di sapere tutto su TRUE BLOOD e sulla saga di Charlaine Harris, questo libro è pane per i vostri denti.
